The multi-purpose sports venue, which is subject to a successful site visit, has a potential capacity of 15,000 for what is set to become the first Davis Cup final on Croatian soil.

International Tennis Federation (ITF) rules state that the final, which this year is scheduled to take place from November 25 to 27, has to be placed in an arena with a capacity of at least 12,000 seats and in a city with good international flight connections.

This meant the Croatian Tennis Association (HTS) were left with limited options with the Spaladium Arena in Split and Krešimir Ćosić Hall in Zadar the only other contenders to host.

Arena Zagreb was built in order to host the 2009 World Men's Handball Championship and has since gone on to stage events in a variety of sports, including athletics and basketball.

"Because of the rules of the organiser of the final, only Zagreb meets all requirements," the HTS said in a statement. 

"Zagreb has already hosted Davis Cup matches and this year was host to the ITF Annual General Meeting. 

"ITF rules states that the arena for the final must have a capacity of at least 12,000 seats, a press centre capable of holding 200 journalists and adequate conditions, such as soundproof booths, for four television and seven radio stations to facilitate live transmissions."

Argentina made their way through to the final after a 3-2 victory against defending champions Great Britain. 

The South American country has never won the premier team tournament in men's tennis, but they have been runners-up on four occasions.

No nation has reached as many finals as Argentina without having lifted the trophy at least once.

Croatia beat France 3-2 in their last-four contest and will be looking to secure their second Davis Cup crown having beaten Slovakia by the same scoreline in the 2005 final in Bratislava. 

Last month, the ITF confirmed that the Davis Cup finalists would be the top two seeds ahead of the World Group draw for the 2017 competition.

Davis Cup rules state that the two finalists are automatically ranked at number one and two - with Argentina named as the number one seed ahead of the Croatians.

It means they were drawn in opposite halves of the World Group draw and will therefore meet in the final again if they successfully negotiate their matches.

Argentina are due to face Italy in the first round, while Croatia are set to meet Spain.

Ties are scheduled to be held from February 3 to 5.
